Sprint Road Bike
Road bikes offer a fast way of getting from A-B with the minimum of hassle (and effort !) When you first decide to buy a bike for the road the choice is many and can be daunting. You can buy bikes online or in the local supermarket costing £150 up to those in specialist cycle shops costing up to £5000 or even more, but what is the difference and what should you look for? If you have never ridden a road bike, or maybe not for many years, it is not easy to 'test drive' bikes, because they will all feel 'wrong' at first. The saddle will look uncomfortable and probably will seem uncomfortable at first and too high, your back might hurt, and you won't know how to change gears. Don't let this deter your enthusiasm ! For your first bike you are looking for a bike that will be a pleasure to ride, and will get you back on the road with minimum fuss. There is no reason to pay for an expensive carbon-fibre frame and super light fittings not quite yet. There are many road bikes in the £300 - £1,000 range that will do very well. The more expensive bikes will have lighter, more solid (rigid) frames and components to match. All should be satisfactory. In truth a bike from any of the reputable manufacturers will be fine, including Raleigh.. None are going to have serious flaws, and the slight difference in weight is not critical at this stage. W would not recommend buying an 'unbranded' bike since these will often have components - gears, brakes etc - that are not made to last, might well weigh a lot more, and could put you off cycling for ever. Colour and appearance is important (psychologically at least) If you think the bike looks great you'll think you look great as well! The most important thing of all is the size of your road bike. Riding the most expensive carbon framed bike in the world will not be fun if it is the wrong size for you. Don't buy a bike in the sales because it is a bargain unless it is the right size! One other choice that you will be confronted by - how many gears do you want. Many new and more expensive bikes have two rings at the front, and purists would ride nothing else. Many people are happier with three. Ironically it will often be the cheaper bikes that have three front rings. When you have been cycling your road bike for a while you might find that you never use the smallest front ring, but if you plan to cycle many hills you might prefer to have the option. Going up a hill at the end of a long ride you might prefer to use the so-called granny-gear (the easiest gear on the bike). The number of gears / rings at the back - usually 9 or 10 - is unlikely to be an issue.
